If moments of crisis are said to provoke a fight or flight
response, Antonio Ynoa chose a little bit of both.

After drunkenly assaulting a JetBlue airline attendant en route
to JFK from the Dominican Republic back in 2011, the 24-year-old
served three months in jail.

And the incident -- in which Ynoa poked, punched and then
attempted to head-butt a steward who asked him to stop drinking
-- was caught on film by a fellow passenger, who subsequently
posted the footage online.

In a lawsuit certain to rouse some laughter and eye rolls --
while also raising questions about privacy and ownership in
today's snap-happy mobile landscape -- Ynoa is suing a trio of
tech giants on claims of cyberbullying.

Furthermore, Ynoa’s very public beatdown begs the question of
whether perpetrators of illegal acts should be entitled to any
privacy at all.

Even though it was removed a year ago, the negative attention
from the video resulted in notoriety, Ynoa claims, as well as
harassment from strangers, one attempted robbery and even the
loss of his front tooth.

As outlandish as the suit may sound, Ynoa is no stranger to
lucrative legal maneuvering. In 2009, he received a $900,000 settlement from New
York City after his motor scooter collided with a NYPD radio
car.
